Lyrics
0:26I move on like a sinners prayer
0:29And letting go like a levee breaks
0:32Walk away as if I don't care
0:37Learn to shoulder my mistakes
0:39Or built to fade like your favorite song
0:43Get reckless when there's no need
0:46Laugh as your stories ramble on
0:49Break my heart but it won't bleed
0:53My only friends are pirates
0:56That's just who I am
1:00But I'm better as a memory than as your man
1:10Never know when the truth won't do
1:13And pretty good on a lonely night
1:16Or move on the way a storm blows through
1:20And never stay but then again I might
1:23I struggle sometimes to find the words
1:27Always sure until I doubt
1:30Walk a line until it blurs
1:33Build walls too high to climb out
1:37But I'm honest to a fault
1:40That's just who I am
1:45I'm better as a memory than as your man
1:52I see you leaning you're bound to fall
1:59I don't want to be that mistake
2:06I'm just a dreamer and nothing more
2:13You should know it before it gets too late
2:18Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel
2:21You never know where they're gonna land
2:24First you're spinning then you're standing still
2:28Left holding a losing hand
2:31But one day you're gonna find someone
2:34And right away you'll know it's true
2:38That all of your sinking's done
2:41It was just a part of the passing through
2:45Right there in that moment you'll finally understand
2:52That I was better as a memory than as your man
3:00Better as a memory than as your man
I move on like a sinners prayer And letting go like a levee breaks Walk away as if I don't care Learn to shoulder my mistakes Or built to fade like your favorite song Get reckless when there's no need Laugh as your stories ramble on Break my heart but it won't bleed My only friends are pirates That's just who I am But I'm better as a memory than as your man Never know when the truth won't do And pretty good on a lonely night Or move on the way a storm blows through And never stay but then again I might I struggle sometimes to find the words Always sure until I doubt Walk a line until it blurs Build walls too high to climb out But I'm honest to a fault That's just who I am I'm better as a memory than as your man I see you leaning you're bound to fall I don't want to be that mistake I'm just a dreamer and nothing more You should know it before it gets too late Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel You never know where they're gonna land First you're spinning then you're standing still Left holding a losing hand But one day you're gonna find someone And right away you'll know it's true That all of your sinking's done It was just a part of the passing through Right there in that moment you'll finally understand That I was better as a memory than as your man Better as a memory than as your man
